I was in Vancouver last year and I drove through East Hastings Street. It seemed to be a place where a lot of people congregated who were using drugs. Is that a result of the right to use drugs that Ms Wilson has just described? I was wondering how come people were allowed to be in that street. They were obviously using drugs.

I could see them using as I drove past and it seemed to be a very sad situation. Will Ms Wilson tell us about that?
